... ? darn! all the good stuff has been predicted.

John

The UK:

A previously unknown tribe will be found in Glasgow, Scotland.

Liverpool will attempt to become an independant state.

It will snow in July.

Rest of the World:

A Virgin Birth in Hawaii.

Polar bears will roam the streets of New York in June.

Sharks will wage war on surfers in south Africa, eating at least half a dozen.

A pirate state will be re-introduced to Madagascar, and begin terrorizing the worlds vanilla shipments.

The ball is becoming a little cloudy, something lurks, it has veiled itself in the mists of time, will have to come back later...

Corona.

See and I didn't even know he was that old

He will reveal this "for the first time" in 2007! along with the 20 items.

Major Volcano eruption. I wish I could see where.

Some people will still be talking crap about David Blaine and Criss Angel

Jay Sankey will put out about 6 new DVDs ... with 30 recycled effects under new names and all of those shoot in front of nobody but his cameraman.

L&L will shoot other "so so" series of DVDs like in 2006 (with the exeption of Sessions with Simon) BUT will still FORGET to shoot some with guys like Juan Tamariz, Gaetan Bloom, Bill Malone and Banachek!

The whole country of Wales or just some of its citizens? And will these people be in The British Isles or Miami?

Robin DeWitt

I was speaking of the mammal.

For my prediction concerning the country of Wales, see above.

Corona.

Excellent work from all you seers! A quick look at the crystal this morning reveals:

8. In 2007, Congress will raise the Federal Minimum Wage, which has been stuck at $5.15 since 1997. There will be some opposition from Republicans, including the President, who will not veto the bill.

Yours,

Paul

Cost of minimum wage increases so does the cost of labor and than everything else raises to meet costs.

I predict the plan to implant download software to every second generation cell phone and newer will be in the news. It allows the US govt to turn on the microphone of the cell phone at any time (even when the phone has been turned off) and it will be exposed to the public during the trial of two NY mob bosses as the basic information collection method that brought them to trial.

In response the public becomes angry that their batteries are being used up (wasted by uncle sam), and the mob counters by throwing away their batteries and carrying both a wall and car cord in their coat pockets.

Oops. That was already in the news.

Ok I guess I have to stick with the old standby from the last couple rounds:

6. After a series of overpriced poorly made and not very useful magic tricks/inventions are gobbled up, Magicians around the world will swear off jumping on the bandwagon and stop buying online based on phoney forum reviews, instead going back to the classic texts and re-inventing their own creations.

The Movie Industry:
-Somebody will make a controversial film starring a major Hollywood actor and they will get great reviews.
-Somebody will make a film about a taboo subject and then botch it.
-A bunch of famous Hollywoodians will get arrested on various charges including shoplifting, drugs, saying something or looking like Wynona Rider.
-Captain Jack Sparrow gets pregnant and finally realises he was a she all along... all the other Pirates characters go, "OH yeah, now it all makes sense."
-Orlando Bloom will continue to be a slightly more womanish version Kiera Knightly.
-The truth comes out: Tom Cruise is not the father of Katie's baby. Dawson is.
-Angelina Jolie and Bradd Pitt will adopt 13 more children naming them Ahooka, Mazda, Akillah, Jerome, Moses, Fulffly, Bouncy, Starr, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve and, by mistake, the 13th child is really Jessica Simpson.

The Music Industry:
-Moadonna will adopt a baby giraffe not to be outdone by Brangelina
-Some rapper will get arrested.
-2Pac will release his 11th posthumous album.
-Brittany Spears is going to have another child, this time the father will be Paris Hilton.
-Michael Jackson's p***s is going to fall off, just like his nose, thus restoring balance to his body and allowing him to dance again which in turn launches his career as a back-up dancer for some American Idol winner who will have a heartwarming story to tell American audiences, and whose name will be Riian Sttawr.
-Paris Hilton will release a music video entitled "One Night In Paris." A mix up at MTV plays the sex tape rather than the music video.

Politics:
-At some point, somewhere, sometime..... something is gonna happen which will prompt Luxembourg to create an invading army of hot young women who will then take over the Switzerland and revolutonise watches and cheese... also they will improve the Swiss army knife by take away the knife and putting in a cloning tool and thus, by cloning themselves, all the women in the world will be replaces by Luxembourgian women who the world really thinks are Swiss women named Heidi with blond hair in ponytails. America launches an attack saying that really, Iran... er Iraq is now a cool nation and that teh Swiss are hiding their weapons of mass destruction cleverly disguised as cheese.
-Kim Jong-Il announces he has discovered the ultimate super power weapon of mass destruction and demonstrates it. THe world takes notice and the Coke Company and the Monthos makers now know why they had such a huge order from Kim.

Magic:
-Nothing really exciting will happen except maybe for Jay Sankey trying to now call himself The Professor and trying to take up residency in the Magic Castle where some dude who calls himself the Phantom of the Castle tries to impress magicians and mentalists by using stooges and camera tricks.
-A bunch of magic people will be dissatisfied and disgruntle with one or more of the following; a performer/an effect/a convention/a post of the Café/another post on the Café/300 more posts on the Café/a trick that they someone else calls a real experiment/James Randi/Randi's locker/something of no relevace to magic /Randi's beard/and something else.

General Predictions:
-George Bush will get the joke Dick C told him......... 12 years ago.
-Somebody will wake up on New Years days and not realise it's New Years Day.
-Pop princesses will discover underwear.


possibly more to come?!



Dorian Grey

Oh, and the King of Comedy will pass on in the Spring, France will mourn.

LOL, nice predictions....

I sense you all will be envious when the robots take Sidney...
